You will have to reformat/partition the hard drive to install XP. That effectively removes everything.
Else.
If you have a ubuntu CD, you can boot single user from the disk, which automatically makes you root. Search the forums for 'lost root password linux'. We get this question a lot.

gen_keymap
GEN_KEYMAP(1) Ubuntu General Commands Manual GEN_KEYMAP(1)
NAME
gen_keymap -- generate a keyboard map decision tree
SYNOPSIS
gen_keymap list ...
DESCRIPTION
gen_keymap generates a decision tree from a set of keyboard maps which can be used to help a user decide which keyboard map to use. The pro-
gram using the decision tree typically asks the user to press some keys; at each step, it examines the returned keycode and uses it to prune
the list of possible keyboard maps until there is only one left.
OPTIONS
--version
Show program's version number and exit.
-?, --help
Show help text.
-v, --verbose
Be more verbose.
-mMINLEN, --minlen=MINLEN
Too-short keymaps are skipped (default: 30 entries).
-g, --graph
Generate a hopefully-nice-looking .dot file.
--maps
Print the to-be-processed keymaps
-i, --installer
Input files are in d-i map form.
-IDIRS, --inc=DIRS, --include=DIRS
Add a directory to the search path.
-oFILENAME, --output=FILENAME
Set output file (default: stdout).
-fFILTER, --filter=FILTER
Include only the branches leading to these keymaps.
-uUSEONLY, --useonly=USEONLY
Start generating the tree based only on these keymaps. (The difference between --filter and --useonly is that the former generates the
whole tree and then prunes it, while the latter only generates a reduced tree to begin with. This may have implications for perfor-
mance on large trees.)
-sSKIP, --skip=SKIP
Keymaps to skip.
-t, --test
Test the generated maps.
--interactive
Ask user to choose among indistinguishable keymaps.
